Publishing Ethics
|
|
|
|
|
Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications, public trust in scientific findings, and that people receive credit for their ideas.
|
1)
|
All manuscripts are committed to publishing only original materials, which has neither been published elsewhere, nor is under review elsewhere. Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from a manuscript by other authors, whether published or unpublished, will incur plagiarism sanctions.
|
|
2)
|
Manuscripts that are found to have been published elsewhere, or to be under review elsewhere, will incur duplicate submission/publication sanctions. If authors have used their own previously published work, or work that is currently under review, as the basis for a submitted manuscript, they are required to cite the previous work and indicate how their submitted manuscript offers novel contributions beyond those of the previous work.
|
|
3)
|
Submitted manuscripts that are found to have either fabricated or falsified experimental results, including the manipulation of images, will incur data fabrication and falsification sanctions.
|
|
4)
|
Submitted manuscripts that are found to include citations whose primary purpose is to increase the number of citations to a given author’s work, or to articles published in a particular journal, will incur citation manipulation sanctions.
|
|
5)
|
All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript and approved all its claims.
|
|
6)
|
Redundant publications involve the inappropriate division of study outcomes into several manuscripts.
|
|
7)
|
The following sanctions will be applied:- Immediate rejection of the infringing manuscript.
-
- Immediate rejection of every other manuscript submitted to JMMP by any of the authors of infringing manuscript.
